Hi there all,

 

received 2 letters from CQ today in the same envelope. The first says:

 

We acknowledge receipt of the application to set aside the Statutory Demand.

 

we attach a copy of a letter we have sent to the court which we think you will find to be self-explanatory.

 

 

The second letter states:

 

We acknowledge receipt of the application to set asidetheStatutory Demand.

 

Due to recent investigations into the balance due between ********** and littlewoods finance we havetaken it upon ourselves to close down the account.

 

Please accept this letter as confirmation that we would like to withdraw the statutory demand and vacate the hearing on the above mentioned date.

 

We will advise ********** to contact the originator directly to discussthe matter further.

 

 

 

What should I do about these, does this mean i do not have to attend court now? CQ have not advised me of anything in the letter they have sent me. Where do I stand please!!!

[nevos]

Hi, looks like it is all over, CQ are pulling out and closing what ever account they refered to but, If I were you contact the Court and make sure the SD has been withdrawn..after that Merry Xmas

[chezza2409]

i have rang the court this morning and told them about letter from CQ. The clerk there advised me to still attend and to apply for costs. she said these should be submitted to court and CQ 24 hours before hearing. So should I still prepare everything ready for the hearing???

[42man]

Yes Chezza....and remember fax/send your costs in so they arrive 24 hours before the hearing....!!

[42man]

And keep on that research too !!

[chezza2409]

well i have read and re-read the cca and insolvency act, what more could i be doing? The only thing is nothing is staying in my head ( I think thats down to my medication) will i be able to take copies to refer to at my hearing cos i cant remember much?

[42man]

Yes....!!

[chezza2409]

thank you once again 42man. I just wish this stupidity was all over and done with. Do I still have to do everything in triplicate in case they do decide to turn up?. Im gonna leave everything now until xmas is out of way then knuckle down and get it all prepared, cos to be honest dont need the stress just now......

[42man]

Forget about it for now.....take the copies, do your research and we'll 'fillet their donkey' in January...

[chezza2409]

brilliant hun, that makes me feel a whole lot better. ill keep reading:D

[nevos]

Hi Chezza: You could also make yourself some quick notes and mark them where to find the relevant points in your papers. It may save you having to thumb through a lot of paper

[chezza2409]

thanks nevos, thats a great idea. Will do!!

[Timewitch]

Good Luck Chezza - I am going through the same thing now but have 42Man's help as well - your posts and the replys are helping me enormously! Thanks for posting it all here.

[chezza2409]

hi 42man,

 

did you get my reply message?? If you can let me know what I am supposed to be doing now, i wouldbe really grateful.

[chezza2409]

timewitch,

i just seen your message, sorry i not replied but had no computer for a few weeks as hard drive blew. I am at court next week so keep watching and i will let you know how things go. 42 man will keep you right, he has with me:D

[chezza2409]

hi 42man, could you advise me on what i should be claiming cost for as i would like to get this done over the weekend ready for faxing next week.

 

many thanks

[chezza2409]

can anyone help me with preparing costs for submission for set aside hearing on thursday please!!!!

[nevos]

Hi Chezza,

 

Found this on another thread for you:-

 

If you're not represented by a Solicitor you have to work your costs up based on the standard "litigant in person" rate which is £9.25 per hour. This supposed to include for costs of postage, stationery etc. Itemise them, ie. 2nd March Prepare letter / CCA request 0.5 hours @ 9.25 + £1.46 for potal order etc.

 

If you have lost income (time off without pay at a higher rate) tell the judge and have a second version of the costs sheet that uses that higher rate.

 

Don't claim for a solicitor if you haven;t evidence to back it up.

Just do a search on CAG eg: litigant in person costs

 

You will find a format to enable you to fax them to the court at least 24 hours ahead of the hearing.

 

Head it up with:-

 

LITIGANT IN PERSON COSTS

 

DATE

 

CASE NR

 

PETITIONER

 

 

DEFENDANT

[chezza2409]

thanks nevos, thats exactly what i need

[42man]

Thanks Nevos....

 

Title a sheet of paper

 

LITIGANT IN PERSON COSTS

 

and as an example 15 hours of research into Consumer Credit Law and The Insolvency Act and related law / cases @ £9.25 per hour

 

Parking

 

Postage

 

Mileage at 40p per mile.

 

FAX or POST this in to the court 24 hours before the hearing Chezza....(or at least post it so it arrives BEFORE 24 hours before the hearing....

[chezza2409]

42 man, am i allowed to apply for costs for my nephew taking 2 x half days off work to take me to court (as he is my carer) and also for child minder on the 2 occassions?

[42man]

You can certainly ask Chezza...

[chezza2409]

hi 42man, did you manage to check that item i pm'd you? Also I today received a letter from CQ with a letter they received from the court. basically stating that they would set aside the Statutory Demand as long as I did not ask for costs and the letter from the judge from court was asking them if I had agreed. I rang court and explained to the clerk that I was still gonna attend on Thursday and was gonna apply for costs and she said that I should. I have today sent of a copy of my costs to both CQ and court by recorded delivery.
